  3. Today, we face major health care challenges in Arkansas • The health status of Arkansans is poor, the state is ranked at or near the bottom of all states on national health indicators, such as heart disease and diabetes • The health care system is hard for patients to navigate, and it does not reward providers who work as a team to coordinate care for patients • Health carespending is growing unsustainably: • Insurance premiums doubled for employers and families in past 10 years (adding to uninsured population) • Large projected budget shortfalls for Medicaid

  4. Our vision to improve care for Arkansas is a comprehensive, patient-centered delivery system… Focus today Objectives • Improve the health of the population • Enhance the patient experience of care • Enable patients to take an active role in their care For patients • Reward providers for high quality, efficient care • Reduce or control the cost of care For providers How care is delivered • Population-based care • Medical homes • Health homes • Episode-based care • Acute, procedures or defined conditions Four aspects of broader program • Results-based payment and reporting • Health care workforce development • Health information technology (HIT) adoption • Expanded access for health care services

  5. Payers recognize the value of working together to improve our system, with close involvement from other stakeholders… Coordinated multi-payer leadership… • Creates consistent incentives and standardized reporting rules and tools • Enables change in practice patterns as program applies to many patients • Generates enough scale to justify investments in new infrastructure and operational models • Helps motivate patients to play a larger role in their health and health care 1 Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services

  6. Medicaid and private insurers believe paying for results, not just individual services, is the best option to improve quality and control costs  • Transition to payment system that rewards value and patient health outcomes by aligning financial incentives • Reduce payment levels for all providers regardlessof their quality of care or efficiency in managing costs  • Pass growing costs on to consumers through higher premiums, deductibles and co-pays (private payers), or higher taxes (Medicaid)  • Intensify payer intervention in decisions though managed care or elimination of expensive services (e.g. through prior authorizations) based on restrictive guidelines  • Eliminate coverage of expensive services or eligibility 

  7. We have worked closely with providers and patients across Arkansas to shape an approach and set of initiatives to achieve this goal • Providers, patients, family members, and other stakeholders who helped shape the new model in public workgroups 500+ • Public workgroup meetings connected to 6-8 sites across the state through videoconference 21 • Months of research,data analysis, expert interviews and infrastructure developmentto design and launch episode-based payments 16 • Updates with many Arkansas provider associations (e.g., AHA, AMS, Arkansas Waiver Association, Developmental Disabilities Provider Association) Monthly

  8. The goal Accountability Incentives The episode-based model is designed to reward coordinated, team-based high quality care for specific conditions or procedures • Coordinated, team based carefor all services related to a specific condition, procedure, or disability (e.g., pregnancy episode includes all care prenatal through delivery) • A provider ‘quarterback’, or Principal Accountable Provider (PAP) is designated as accountable for all pre-specified services across the episode (PAP is provider in best position to influence quality and cost of care) • High-quality, cost efficient care is rewarded beyond current reimbursement, based on the PAP’s average cost and total quality of care across each episode

Some possibilities include: • Cardiac care • Orthopedic care: back pain, joint arthroscopy • Behavior health: Depression, Bipolar Disorder • Other specialty procedures: dialysis, hysterectomy • Stroke • NICU • Preschool children with developmental delays • We will launch Long Term Support Services (LTSS) and Developmental Disability (DD) episodes. The assessment period for DD will begin this month, and for LTSS will begin in the first quarter of 2013. • We also plan to launch Patient Centered Medical Homes and Health Homes for Behavioral Health.

  15. Core provider for episode Episode ‘Quarterback’ Performance management The model rewards a Principal Accountable Provider (PAP) for leading and coordinating services and ensuring quality of care across providers What it means… PAP role • Physician, practice, hospital, or other provider in the best position to influence overall quality, cost of care for episode • PAP selection: • Payers review claims to see which providers patients chose for episode related care • Payers select PAP based main responsibility for the patient’s care • Leads and coordinates the team of care providers • Helps drive improvementacrosssystem (e.g., through care coordination, early intervention, patient education, etc.) • Rewarded forleading high-quality, cost-effective care • Receives performance reports and datato support decision-making NOTE: Episode and health home model for adult DD population in development. Model will utilize lead provider and health home to drive coordination

  16. Ensuring high quality care for every Arkansan is at the heart of this initiative, and is a requirement to receive performance incentives Two types of quality metrics for providers Description 1 Quality metric(s) “to pass” are linked to payment • Core measures indicating basic standard of care was met • Quality requirements set for these metrics, a provider must meet required level to be eligible for incentive payments • In select instances, quality metrics must be entered in portal (heart failure, ADHD) 2 Quality metric(s) “to track” are not linked to payment • Key to understand overall quality of care and quality improvement opportunities • Shared with providers but not linked to payment

  17. How episodes work for patients and providers (1/2) Patients and providers deliver care as today (performance period) 1 2 3 Patients seek care and select providers as they do today Providers submit claims as they do today Payers reimburse for all services as they do today

  18. How episodes work for patients and providers (2/2) Payers calculate average cost per episode for each PAP1 Compare average costs topredetermined ‘’commendable’ and ‘acceptable’ levels2 • Based on results, providers will: • Share savings: if average costs below commendable levels and quality targets are met • Paypart of excesscost: if average costs are above acceptable level • See no change in pay: if average costs are between commendable and acceptable levels 6 4 5 Calculate incentive payments based on outcomes after close of 12 month performance period Review claims from the performance period to identify a ‘Principal Accountable Provider’ (PAP) for each episode 1 Outliers removed and adjusted for risk and hospital per diems 2 Appropriate cost and quality metrics based on latest and best clinical evidence, nationally recognized clinical guidelines and local considerations

  19. Shared savings No change PAPs that meet quality standards and have average costs below the commendable threshold will share in savings up to a limit Pay portion of excess costs - Shared costs High No change in payment to providers Acceptable Receive additional payment as share as savings + Commendable Gain sharing limit Low Individual providers, in order from highest to lowest average cost
